What’s New?

Import results​

When the import has finished, the results are displayed.
First of all, an overview and a list of each tool with at least one calibration imported, and the most recent calibration imported for each tool.

Immediately after the imported calibrations, a list of import errors is shown. This list contains calibrations that should have been imported but have not due to:

• Tool IDs not found
• Mismatch between serial numbers
• Duplicate tool IDs
• Missing calibration date

Finally, a list of informational messages is available. This list is hidden by default; click on the section to display the list. This list contains calibrations that have not been imported since they:

• are already known
• relate to a tool ID which is registered with a different serial number in IGNOS
• are older than the most recent calibration already known in IGNOS

Introducing a new filter feature that allows users to easily customize and refine their production schedule view.

With this new feature, users can filter the production schedule based on various criteria such as available work, status, or project, providing a more tailored and efficient schedule experience.

Apply filters​

Type F to select filters from the filter menu or click the Filter button above the schedule. You'll see a menu of filters that you can apply to the operation schedule. Once you've selected a filter, you can see a list of the available options along with the number of matching operations. You can move through the menu or use free text search to find the exact filter you need. If you need to filter the list of options using multiple values, this can be done using comma, newline or space to separate the values.

Filter categories​

Features to come​

• Persist filter in URL
• Filter by dates

Smarter report progress form​

Good quantity is now automatically updated based on the selected status.

Next status is now automatically updated based on the specified quantities.

More error prone picking list​

The user expirience of the picking list has been improved to prevent errors.

The text inside the input field is now automatically selected when the user clicks on it to make it easier to replace the value. We also fixed an issue where the consumption value was not captured if the input cell was still active when the user clicked on the "Update" or "Consume" button.

My active​

Based on feedback from users, we added the Project column to the "My active" page.

When running unattended machining jobs, the operator may want to actively be notified on their phone if the machine stops for any reason. Notifications are a better alternative than requiring an operator to actively check in with the machine to see if it is still running.

Before you can start using the feature, an IT admin needs to install the Teams bot: Teams bot installation guide

How does it work​

A Teams app is installed to the customer Teams. There it will synchronize the Teams users to our database and allow a bot to send messages to individual operators.

• The operator starts a machine for unattended machining.
• The operator adds an alert subscription for the machine.
• If the machine is inactive for the period specified, a notification is sent to the operator via Teams.
• When the operator returns to work they can disable the subscription to stop receiving messages.

Notification behavior​

• The machine is considered active when it is in an active machining cycle. It is otherwise considered inactive if, for example, the machine is in Manual mode, in alarm state, or powered off.
• After you’ve received a notification, you will not receive another notification until the machine has returned to an active state again.

In the Machine States view, it is now possible to show more detailed information about the currently active work order in each machine.
To switch between the two views, use the toggle at the top right-hand corner:

The detailed information contains:

• Customer, part, and drawing information
• Start time of the work order operation
• Number of parts to be produced
• Planned, used, and remaining time
• Progress bar showing used time versus planned time

A new calculator has been added to IGNOS Workspace which allows conversion of millimeters to inches and inches to millimeters:

• Select the required direction of conversion in the top right corner.
• Enter a number to convert in the top text field.
• Read out the converted value in the bottom text field.
• It is possible to copy the converted value to the clipboard using the Copy button at the end of the bottom text field.

If the widget is enabled for you, it will be available in the widget gallery. Look for the Millimeters/inches calculator widget.

This long-requested feature is finally available in the form of a workspace widget. It lets you look up active operators in two ways:

• Select a machine to find out who is currently operating it.
• Enter an operator name to see which machine he/she is currently operating.

The results are based on active work order events.

If the widget is enabled for you, it will be available in the widget gallery. Look for the Find operators widget.

We are now presenting details about the CNC program that was executing when the alarm occurred.

Alarm Details - Improvements​

Previous to this release, the alarm contextual charts showing machine data was not very well aligned. The X-axis range was not necessarily the same across the charts, which lead to a bad user experience when comparing data between several charts.

Based on your feedback, we have given this feature some love and lifted the experience. Here is what's new:

• The charts now share the same X-axis range, which makes comparison easier.
• Support zooming by dragging the mouse pointer to create a window you want to look closer into.
• Charts are synced, meaning that tooltips follow each other across the charts when you hover over the lines. The zoom level is also synced.
• Export to SVG, PNG and CSV.
• Units on the Y-axis.
• Details about the alarm itself is now visible at the top of the alarm details dialog so that you don't loose context when you click on an alarm in the list view.
